If you have ever used EBay to search for Masonic books you will have come across listings such as this one:
Sometimes there is a list of all the books. For example:etc etc...
I have a few questions about these collections.
These "libraries" are normally only about £10. So even if the books were available free on the internet it might be too much hassle to download them all individually.
But as I say the biggest problem is that I have no DVD reader. Surely that is a common problem nowadays?
Sellers might consider putting these things on small capacity memory cards/sticks.

I have a few questions about these collections.
- Where are the sellers finding these PDF files? They must be from somewhere on the internet, but where?
- Are they any good? Are they readable or are they those unreadable OCR scans of ancient typography?
- I have no DVD reader on any of my laptops. Do any sellers put the collections on Micro SD cards?
